Psychology was being introduced in Iraq by an Egyptian psychologist A.E. Rageh in the early 1940s when he began teaching psychology at the Higher Institute Education and later at Baghdad University, where he also helped establish academic psychological study (Ahmed, n.d.). Additionally, Ahmed (n.d.) states that “psychology in Iraq did not appear as an academic and distinct discipline until the early 1970’s when an increasing need for specialization in psychology became apparent” (p. 133). Since then, psychology departments began to open at several universities in Iraq. Counselling services are likely to be performed by psychologists in Iraq. However, articles and studies available online regarding the availability of counsellors are mostly outdated.
